Because I'm a great big nerd...
Nov. 6th, 2005 07:37 pmAnd self-analysis is good for me. Plus, the Muse seems to have gone into temporary hiding. I need to either re-read the transcripts for "Life of the Party" and "The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco" or watch them again for the little plot bunny I've got right now. Meh. Seems like work.
So, what did I do instead? I made a chart of all the fic I've written this year. Twenty-six stories published at FFN, not counting the drabbles. A Lost/Angel crossover, two Buffy, six Firefly, and seventeen Angel.
Of the Buffy fics, neither actually featured Buffy. One was Anya and Giles, and the other was Xander and Faith.
Of the Firefly fics, only two didn't feature Jayne as a main character, and he still got a couple of lines in each of them. *sigh* It's the arms. And the guns. And he's the sort of archetype I love. And I heard yesterday that Adam Baldwin is a fellow conservative. *squees* I knew there was a reason I liked that man.
Of the Angel fics, nine feature Spike & Illyria heavily. Four feature Spike & Fred. Only two don't have Spike at all; one features Lindsey and Holland ONLY, and the other has Angel and Giles ONLY--and both of those are under 600 words.
The fics range in size from 278 words to 12,898. Most of them (twelve) seem to be between 1000 and 3000 words. Six are over 3000 words, and eight are under 1000 words. Four fics in January, none in February, three in March, one in April, five in May, none in June, three in July, one in August, two in September, five in October, and one so far this month. According to FFN's word-counter thing, I've scribbled 61,104 words this year, including my little intro-thingy I have at the beginning of each fic.
What does this say about me as a writer, or even as a person? I have no idea. Am I prolific, or is this just "meh" compared to others? And does anyone else even care or is all this navel-gazing just boring as hell to everyone else?
